You may have toll roads checked off in the avoidances part of the settings.

I have just played with it locally. It will plan from current location to where ever you want to go. We will be road tripping in our RV in Feb and will give it a side by side test with our older Garmin. ROGER

Garmin is no longer telling you what receiver they are putting in their devices. On my older 260, I found it by doing this: Go to Tools / Settings / System / About. If your GPS software version number has a "b" as a suffix, it's Bravo. An "m" means it's MTK.

Yes you can and there are many ways to accomplish it... I have four GPS units. One is in my Van, the GPSMAP for geocashing and kayaking and I have for my bicycle. All Garmin and out of all of them my favorite one is the 62St. I have though about selling it several times because I do not kayak anymore and it is really bulky for the bicycle but because it is very good when it comes to receiving from satellites I hold on to it.... Very accurate and built really solid......

Not that I have been able to locate - been in situations that would have changed the route

I am not sure. I would go to the Garmin site and do your investigating there.

I can't answer because I didn't try it. Probably if you send this question to Garmin they will answer you.

your garmin can be programmed as a car or truck or rv you can build your profile while traveling to have features like traffic, poi's, your gps will also log driving hours and fuel consumption just fun things to play with if traveling in a car. I use it for a 65 foot truck and trailer that hauls cars, I honestly other than user error the garmin has been super dependable. and it has bluetooth that works in a quiet car phenomenally, and it is also voice activated. hope this helps\

AFAIK, Garmin uses the same routing algorithm as older units. However, I've heard complaints that the new ones can take you to routes that mystifies some users. I can't confirm this (my 765t pretty much routes me like my older 260 ... all things being equal, i.e., same settings). This is not to say my Garmin units' routing are spot on, they aren't always.

To my knowledge, this is still the most current - and best - GPS Garmin produces for most consumers. Those of us wanting the 3597LMTHD had to wait until it's release in May of this year, following our pre-order of same. I believe there is a new "Big Rig" device out there, customized for over-road truck drivers. I've seen nothing else more current from Garmin. Hope this satisfactorily answers your question.

Yes. During setup I was able to select miles or KM. I hope this info helps.

You would need to check with Garmin. Note, I was in northern California and the standard download of the lower 48 states had forest service roads. I was impressed with the detail.

Yes you can. There are several setting you can choose from. I have the truck showing on my gps. I have liked this garmin better then any of the other gps I have had in the past and they have all been garmin's.

Hello Daina,I don't know if there is an option in the setting that would permit this...It only loads the best rout that it calculates to be the best option. If you connect it with the traffic sensor, and depending on the traffic in your planed rout, it may give a new option (route), and let you know how much time you could save... You will however, have to accept the suggestion before your GPS could implement it (the new route )...Have a great day,Kevin

You can set this device for trucks by selecting truck in the menu for vehicle type. In New York it will keep your commercial vehicle off of truck restricted routes like parkways and drives. Not sure what other states restrictions are or how it would work elsewhere. Good GPS.

I think you have to have an antenna for traffic reception. I'm looking for one now. If you can get the traffic report it will then. a Garmin will reroute you if you take a different course. the big ones are actually made for trucks, but to us that means they won't tell you to U turn 486 times because a truck can't. 1 advantage.
